pastors like rick warren lead mission trips that send thousands of americans around the world bringing aid to the poorest places on the planet. american troops are the first on the scene of a natural disaster. an earthquake strikes, in haiti and care packages come from all over the world but first from america and not far behind, of course, are presidents clinton and bush. but too often our passion for charity as a people is tempered by our sense that our aid is not always effective. we see stories of cases where american aid has been diverted to corrupt governments. we wonder why year after year after year of aid and relief, seem to never extinguish the hardship and persists decade after decade. perhaps some is failure to recognize how much the developing world has changed. a lot of the foreign aid efforts that we put in place some years ago were designed at a time when government development assistance accounted for about 70% of the resources flowing to developing nations. today, 82% of the resources that flow to developing nations come from the private sector, not the governmental s

elizabeth warren is like an occupy activist. so she gets a cake from scott brown. their stunt was trying to deliver this melting sheet cake. they were so proud to have it they tweeted a picture of themselves trying to pull off the stunt. there's a long history of people trying to provoke their opponents so they do something embarrassing or damaging. if they could have that reaction while someone is filming, that would be great. what i'm about to show you is not that. it's not run of the mill politics. it's not delivering an unappealing sheet cake to your opponent which you find hilarious. this is different. here's the context. at last week's debate between scott brown and elizabeth warren, senator brown right out of the gate, before anything was discussed, first thing scott brown attacked elizabeth warren for being native american because he says, she looks white to him. >> she checked the box claiming she was a native american. clearly, she's not. >> scott brown is also a one-man racial litmus test. don't know if your great grandmother was czech? ask scott brown.

"i call upon senator brown to apologize for the offensive actions of his staff and their uneducated, unenlightened and racist portrayal of native peoples." just before 7:00 p.m. tonight, senator brown's spokesperson has released this statement, "senator brown has spoken to his entire staff and issued them their one and only warning that this type of conduct will not be tolerated. he regrets that members of his staff did not live up to the high standards of the people of massachusetts expect and deserve." my friends, may i point out, this is not exactly an apology. in fact, the state democratic party is circulating a new video which shows the raist chanting could be a normal part of the brown campaign. >> when professor warren makes a mistake, claiming that she's a native american, you
